the same way Of thinking. Where,
then, would be the Inconsistency Of
their joining hands with the revenue
reform Democrats and doing some
thing" for the tariff? II the tariff
needs revision and u majority of the
Members Of the House so believe, the
responsibility for failing to pass the
necessary legislation cannot be fastened
upon one party more than another.
There are some things which 1t is the
duty Of Congress to do irrespective of
party lines. A revision Of the tariff In
the interest of lower taxation is one OF
them; o regulation Of foreign immi.
grafton In the interest OF the general
welfare is another. Patriotism should
not be altogether forgotten in the bus!-

In THE CASE of Douglass Kidwell, on
trial this week before the Corporation
Court of Alexandria for the murder OF
George Wertenbaker, Baltimore and

day, found the remarkable verdict OF
involuntary manslaughter, and fixed
the prisoners penalty at three months
imprisonment and fine of 50, Many
a starving man has besn more severely
punished for stealing loaf of bread
to keep himself alive II had been far
better for the credit of the county md
the interests Of justice had the man been
acquitted outright. The verdict as It
stands amounts TO little more than Il
fresh license to drunken ruff 4niIm. No.
body believes that kidwell WAS guilty
Of willful aud premedilated
urdtr, but that an honest,
lnoiTcnsive man, engaged in the dis.
charge Of his duDy, came to lis death
at the hands of the defendant was
clearly shown. The drunkenness OF
the latter is no palliaiion Of his crime.
lie voluntarily placed himself in a
condition to commit an involuntary act,
and while in that condition took the
life of fellow man with brutal cruelty.
Whose life in Alcynndria County Is as
safe to day as 1t WAS yesterday? What
citizen of Alexandria Is not more than
ever subject TO assault in the face of a
verdict which virtually declares that
assault may be committed with i'm.
punity, provided the assaillnt is drunk ?
Such burlcsqucs upon justice should
not be tolerated. They leave the citl.
zen without protect N in the law and

DIAMOND FLASHES.
Topics that will Interest the Devotees of
the National Game.

fCopyish, 1887, By The California associated Press.
CINCINNATI, December 7th.-The Board
OF Arbitration, composed on John j. Rog-
ers. John B. Day and Nick E. Young, of
the National Baseball League, and Chris
Won der Abe, Charles H. Byrne and Zack
Phelps. of the Association, to-day elected
John J. Rogers as President, and Byrne
will remain as Secretary.
The Board decided TO admit the minor
Leagues to protection on the payment of
$3.50 for each club, but they must be dis
banded if only four clubs. They are
allowed the privilege of reserving fourteen
players and to come into the Board when
subjects of interest are being discussed, but
they can have no regular representation.
An effort was made, unsuccessfully to
strike out the rule limiting the salaries.
The subject of the eighth club will prob
ably go over, though it is understood that
Kansas City has already $1,000 to go into
the American association.
The Board recommends that the League
and Association annual meetings be held
in the same city, and designated the
Wednesday after the first Monday as the
time, and st. Louis as the meeting-place in
1888. The schedule meetings are to be
held there in May.
The Clevelands offered $3.50 to the
Brooklyns for Caruthers, which he will
accept if he don't go to Brooklyn. Holi-
day goes to st. Louis as voluntary. A dis
patch was received from him when in
Washington, dated October Goth, saying he
would sign. Won der Abe replied 'An
right, I'll bring the contract on Wednes-

WANT THE CONVENTION.
A Grand Struggle by Cities for the Re-
publican National Convention.

iCOpyig, 1887, by Hte California Associated Press
WASHINGTON, December 7th.-The Re-
publican National Committee will meet at
the Arlington Hotel tomorrow. OF the
thirty eight members of the committee
only about one-half have arrived, but the
remainder are expected within the next
twelve hours. Omaha, Cincinnati st.
Louis, Minneapolis, Chicago and Philadel-
phla delegations are sounding the praises
and merits of their respective cities for the
honor of holding the Convention. New
York is hardly mentioned There is no.
body here urging the claims of the Empire
State with any vim, and if the committee
does not select upon Western city for the
Convention 1t seems likely to 90 to Phila-
delphis.
The Chicago people seem confident of OBJ
tanning both the Republican and Demo-
cratic Conventions, having had both Con-
ventions in 1884. Being central point
with low railroad fares, excellent hotel ac-
commodations, and a fine hall of large
seating capacity, they manifest a confidence
that is not observed among any other dele
CATION. The Minneapolis and Cincinnati
delegations are doing all in their power 10
influence the majority of the committee
but rumors that the Blaine men prefer
Chicago, with Philadelphia as second
choice, are in the air.
The members of the committee, with
scarcely an exception, refuse to publicly
commit themselves in favor of or against
any of the cities named as available for
Convention purposes. All they will say is
that the West offers greater conveniences
for delegates than any city on the Atlantic
seaboard.
The Chicago men are playing a fine
game. They expect to successfully pro-
claim the merits of the Garden City after
Omaha, Minneapolis, Cincinnati and st.
Louis shall have exhausted themselves in
the struggle for the honor. The Sherman
men are not so enthusiastic over the selec-
ton of Cincinnati as might be expected
They fear that if the convention is held IN
Foraker's town he, rather than Sherman,
may receive the votes of the delegation for
President.
Very fiattering offers will be made by
Minneapolis and Omaha for the Conyen-
